| 9 | 37851 Cherry Street, Newark, California | Gypsum board manufacturer | 12,088 | Yes-March 22, 2000 | Yes | According to an EPA database compiled from W.R. Grace shipping invoices, 12,088 tons of vermiculite ore from the Libby mine were shipped to this site between March 1967 and November 1988. EPA collected 17 soil, 5 dust, and 5 air samples at this site. The soil samples contained less than 1 percent asbestos and the dust samples contained less than 10,000 asbestos structures per square centimeter of wiped surface. The soil samples were analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM) and the dust and air samples were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Since all of the samples were below levels that would trigger a cleanup action, EPA determined no further action was needed. |
